Words to Live By

"So when I listen to some semi-literate political candidate go on about how Saddam didn't want any part of these people because he isn't or wasn't religious, (yeah, right, as if we know that Bin Laden really is religious, as if history isn't filled with leaders who have cloaked fascism in the mantle of phony devotion, even to the extent of convincing themselves of their sadistic piety) I have to think he is either stupid or a liar. Or just simply a pol out to get his opponent at any cost, even if that cost is the Enlightement itself."
